In addition to what others said, bulemia can also cause intractible hiccups from irritating the diaphragm, tears in the esophagus which can be fatal if untreated, and a condition called Barrett's esophagus, which starts you on the road to nasty, incurable esophageal cancer.
Some problems you might expect to see early on are the decay of your teeth, mainly in back, from acid. You'll feel pain behind your breastbone and maybe have an acidy taste in your mouth. You might get food coming up all the time involuntarily. You might start to see streaks of blood in your vomit. Then, if you were bleeding enough, your stool would start to look black, and tarry, since you'd be passing digested blood. You'd start to have pain and difficulty with swallowing. You may have pain directly behind your navel.

Of course it can! I mean, you're basically FORCING your body to push everything out, the unnatural and unhealthy way...not only will it screw up your esophagus, but it will also screw up your heart.

Bulimia is bad. Fight now, quit and stop it. There are many negative effects, and many unknown YET ones. Your teeth rot and fall, you are weak, sleepy and suffer from headaches, you cant even think straight and most bulimic girls, are the girls who SHOULDn t be cause they were not fat in the first place. Not that any girl should be. Just drop the habbit. It is also addictive cause when you puke, substances are created that mess your brain and give you a feeling of euphoria, wich is something like...DRUGS. Believe it or not, vomiting is adicting.

yes it can cause several. the least of which is the erosion of the esophogus which would give you a burning sensation there. it could also cause it to contrict, making it harder to eat. also, it can cause you to throw up when you arent trying to, because the digestive system gets used to it. bulimia is very dangerous stuff.
